You are right that many programmers have no problem to do it but my point was that I do not think that anyone can do it. I believe that experienced programmers have no problem to do it in less than 24 hours but unexperienced programmers may have more bugs in the move generator when they need time to understand the reason for the bugs and probably need more than 24 hours.
